Chapter 527 Base Exploration and Layout
As Qi Tongwei walked around the base, he keenly noticed the unusual status of the bearded thug.
Wherever he went, he exuded an invisible influence.
The medical staff, dressed in clean white work clothes, hurried through the corridors of the base.
When their eyes swept over the bearded man, they would immediately lift their eyes, which had been focused on the medical instruments or medical records in their hands, and their faces would quickly change into a respectful expression. They would greet him softly, "Hello, Brother Hu."
The respect in that voice was like a student meeting a strict teacher.
And those thugs, each of them was big and strong with a face full of flesh, looked fearless.
But when they pass by a bearded man, they will unconsciously straighten their backs and greet him respectfully: "Brother Hu, are you busy?"
At the same time, their eyes would always linger on Qi Tongwei curiously for a moment, their eyes full of confusion and inquiry, as if they were guessing the origin of this stranger following the bearded man.
Qi Tongwei was secretly happy, he knew that his decision to get close to the bearded man was absolutely correct.
This bearded man is like a key to unlocking the secrets of the base. As long as we can hold him tightly, we can obtain more information and gain a foothold in this dangerous base.
Qi Tongwei continued to explore the base cautiously.
Suddenly, the roar of a car engine broke the oppressive silence in the base.
He turned around and saw two vans with all-black windows slowly approaching.
Qi Tongwei's mind moved, and he quickly activated his "Eagle Eye Skill".
This skill is like a sophisticated scanner, instantly penetrating the black car window and taking in the entire situation inside the car.
He was surprised to find that the car was full of people.
Those people were like lambs to be slaughtered, with their limbs tightly tied and their bodies curled up together. They could only make whimpering sounds, which were full of fear and despair.
The car quickly drove to the medical center where the bearded man was. The car door was roughly opened with a "clatter", and several rough-handled men jumped out of the car.
Their eyes were cold and numb, and they reached out and roughly dragged the tied-up people off the car one by one, as if they were moving cargo.
Qi Tongwei's eyes swept over these people one by one, and suddenly, his attention was attracted by a little girl.
The little girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was dirty, her hair was messy like weeds, and her clothes were tattered.
But her eyes were particularly eye-catching. They were bright and sharp, like the cold stars twinkling in the night sky, and seemed out of place in this scene full of despair.
It was only after the little girl was thrown out of the car that Qi Tongwei noticed that her legs were disabled. One of her legs could not bend, and she could only walk with difficulty by dragging that leg.
After falling, she tried hard to stand up, and she looked very pitiful.
However, Qi Tongwei soon discovered something wrong.
The traffickers treated the little girl in a very special way.
When the other abducted people were dragged out of the car, the traffickers all looked impatient and cursed.
But although their actions towards the little girl were equally rough, there was a subtle tacit understanding between them, as if they were in the same group.
As the little girl was being dragged away, her eyes were constantly observing the surrounding environment.
When her eyes swept over Qi Tongwei, she first looked at him suspiciously, with a kind of vigilance in her eyes that did not belong to a victim.
Then, as if she suddenly realized her role, she immediately put on a pitiful expression and limped with the crowd into the medical department.
Qi Tongwei stood at the door with cigarettes and alcohol in his hands, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the medical department.
After a while, he saw the bearded man walking out of the building.
When the bearded man saw Qi Tongwei was still there, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Upon seeing this, Qi Tongwei immediately stepped forward, a flattering smile on his face. He handed the cigarettes and alcohol in his hand to the bearded man and said, "I just went to the supermarket to buy some things, so I brought you some."
"These cigarettes are the most expensive in the store, and the wine is also good. I think you will like it."
The bearded man's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the cigarettes and alcohol in Qi Tongwei's hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He reached out to take the cigarettes and alcohol, and said, "I'm thirsty. Come on, let's drink together."
Qi Tongwei was still thinking about the four special forces soldiers. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, I'll come find you later."
When the bearded man heard this, the smile on his face suddenly faded a little. He became serious and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qi Tongwei sighed, a worried look on his face, and said, "Didn't I bring a few people with me? These people are tough, they can't..."
Before Qi Tongwei could finish his words, the bearded man burst into laughter. He patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about them. Usually, such tough guys are locked up in a small dark room for three days and three nights without food or water. Even eighteen bronze men would be emaciated by hunger if they were to come in."
When Qi Tongwei heard this, he felt relieved.
He was worried that those people would kill the special forces soldiers. Now, after hearing what the bearded man said, he knew that their lives would not be in danger for the next three days, so he said, "Brother, I'm just worried that someone will go in and take the opportunity to teach them a lesson. If they kill them, it will be difficult to explain to Brother Long."
The bearded man narrowed his eyes and grinned, "You want to vent your anger? There's no rush. Going in now might backfire. Wait three days and you can do whatever you want to me."
Hearing this, Qi Tongwei felt relieved.
As long as no one goes in to touch them, I can slowly make plans and find a way to rescue them.
At the dinner table, Qi Tongwei knew that in order to get more information from the bearded thug, he had to let him relax his vigilance.
So, Qi Tongwei began to use his "drinking table tactics".
He drank one glass after another with the bearded thug, and each glass of wine was accompanied by a few well-chosen words.
Qi Tongwei is like a knowledgeable scholar. Whether the bearded thugs are talking about anecdotes in the underworld or their insights into some business, he can always follow up the conversation and speak coherently.
The bearded thug became more and more excited as he drank. He felt like he had met a close friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.
His face, which was already a little red, became even redder under the influence of alcohol, and his eyes began to become blurred.
He drunkenly asked Qi Tongwei: "You know so much, how can you still do this job?"
His tongue seemed to be tied and he spoke incoherently. He stared at Qi Tongwei with eyes full of confusion.
Qi Tongwei also took a sip of wine, then pretended to be drunk and replied drunkenly: "I was in jail before, and after I got out, they didn't want me to do anything."
"This society is so realistic. Once you have a stain, it's like being branded, and it can't be washed away."
"So, I can only follow Brother Long to make a living."
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, the bearded thug felt a sense of sympathy.
He sighed, raised his glass and clinked it with Qi Tongwei's, then drank it all in one gulp. As he drank more and more, the bearded thug became more and more drunk.
His body began to stagger and his speech became incoherent.
Seeing that the other party was almost drunk, Qi Tongwei felt that it was time to ask for some key information.
He pretended to be casual and said, "I saw two cars coming over last night. Are those goods?"
The bearded thug was already drunk and a little confused at this time. When he heard Qi Tongwei's words, he nodded subconsciously and said vaguely: "Yes, the quality of this batch of goods is not good. I guess it won't sell for much money."
Qi Tongwei's heart moved and he thought of the little girl.
In order to find out more about her, Qi Tongwei decided to disguise himself as a gangster.
He deliberately said with a lecherous look, "Who says the quality is bad? I think that lame girl is pretty good, isn't she?"
"She's not very old, but she's really beautiful."
As he spoke, he pretended to be drooling, with malicious light flashing in his eyes.
When the bearded thug heard Qi Tongwei's words, his drunken state instantly disappeared by half.
His eyes became serious, and without hesitation he slapped Qi Tongwei in the face and said loudly, "Don't think about her."
Qi Tongwei pretended to be stunned, covering his face, and said with a look of grievance: "Brother, I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?"
The bearded thug frowned and said seriously, "This is no joke."
"You can't touch that little girl. She is very important to us. If you dare to touch her, Brother Long will not let you go."
Qi Tongwei was shocked. He didn't expect that this little girl was so important.
He pretended to be scared, nodded quickly and said, "Brother, I understand. I won't dare to do it again."
The bearded thug looked at Qi Tongwei and his expression softened slightly.
He took another sip of wine, then lowered his voice and said, "You don't know, although this little girl has a disabled leg, she has special abilities that are very helpful to our business."
"Don't let your momentary lust ruin Brother Long's plans."
Qi Tongwei was full of doubts. He wanted to continue asking questions, but was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the bearded thugs.
So, he could only put on a smile and continue drinking with the bearded thug, but in his heart he was wondering what special abilities this little girl had and how she could help their business.
